Elsey, a little out of it from the weird timeskip as well as being caught in her own thoughts, lightly claps with the crowd.
"Colour me surprised...He's still got it, despite all that happened before."

After a little while, the other fighter finally sits back up.
"Heh, I guess you proved yourself alright. You're definitely tough enough. Say, what's your name?"

"Aagh, you're a pretty good fighter yourself. If you have to know, my name is... Seth."
He attempts to assist his previous opponent back to their feet, though he seems to be a lot weaker than usual.
He has to sit down in the dirt to catch a break, he can't pull anybody up in his current condition.
"Fuck... what's in this venom..."

"Seth? strange name. Mine is Cheshire. My venom usually doesn't pack that much of a punch... I'll buy you some antivenom brew once we get to the bar. It's only fair."
Cheshire manages to get up on his own and helps Seth get back up instead.
Fannie is quite excited to see the duel end on such a warm note.

Seth smiles as Cheshire assists him to his feet. Maybe this place isn't so bad after all.
"Thank you. Let's get moving, somebody quite dear to me is waiting."

Cheshire leads the way towards the bar, and soon they are off.
"hmmm... it makes sense now, why you were trying so hard. You're a lot more admirable than you seem."
They continue to walk. It seems to be quite a few blocks away.

"Yes, yes. Let's hope she's not taken somewhere else before we get there."
Elsey dusts herself and moves next to Seth.
"...It's not gonna be fatal, is it?"

Nak continues to follow behind, he briefly slips forward to slip a "Nakking- join crew" business card into Cheshire's belt-rag.

"It better not be... It doesn't feel that terrible, but it still hurts."
Despite being fatigued by the venom and the many other detriments that have stacked up against him, Seth looks on forwards with determination.
"I will find you, Kat..." he whispers to himself.

"It shouldn't be. Usually when I use it against dueling opponents, it just weakens them for a short while during and slightly after the duel." Cheshire explains.
"So, you say you're supposed to meet up with your beloved at moonpuddle tavern? It seems like an odd place for an out of towner to go to... "
Cheshire notices the thing slipped into their belt. Wary of pickpockets, Cheshire scans the area before examing the business card. They seem a little perplexed by it, more concerned about if anything had been taken than what was left behind.

"She was kidnapped. That place is the only lead we have right now, and I'm worried what her captor might do to her..." Seth closes his eyes for a moment while still walking.
"I swear, if that bitch harmed her in any way... I don't know what I'm gonna do, but it won't be pretty..."
It pains him just to think about what kind of danger Kat might be in right now.
He can't lose her again... not now...

"The faster we get there, the less risk there would be."
As much as Elsey is trying to keep calm, she was just as worried, if not more.
If it weren't for her cloak, they would have noticed how her arms fidgeted all over the place.

Just a few buildings away, a familiar one from the viewport picture comes into view. Cheshire points it out.
"There it is. Moonpuddle tavern. Let's get you that antivenom brew and see if your sought after is still there."
Cheshire keeps at a steady pace.
Fannie is way too excited about this. Then again, it's not every day you get to go on an adventure like this.

Elsey walks briskly on ahead towards the building.
She can't wait. She simply just cannot wait any longer.
She has to be there. She has to.
"Don't get in my way..."

The party arrives at the Moonpuddle tavern. Cheshire walks inside.
Various bar patrons turn to look at the new visitors. One or two of them wave to Cheshire, though most of them seem a bit suspicious of the others. Fannie tries to hide from their stares, honestly very intimidated.
"They're with me, halfhorn over here beat me in a duel."
"that scrawny gilded scrub over there? Were you fighting with your hands behind your back again?"
"That was one time, Syfew. This young man is fiercer in battle than any other I've ever fought."
Cheshire turns to face the bartender. "Anyways, I need to get this kid an antivenom brew. Bit him during the fight and he's... not exactly taking it all that well."
"You used the fangs on him? Wow, Chesh. Anyhow, you know what you gotta do." The bartender gives Cheshire an empty glass.
Cheshire holds it up to their fangs and shoots a few drops of venom into the glass. They give the glass back to the bartender.
The bartender pulls out a jar of unknown powder and puts a spoonful of it into the glass. The bartender then pours half of a glass of milk into the glass and stirs the concoction with a wooden swizzle stick. The liquid turns a fizzy opaque light purple and froths slightly. The bartender holds the purple drink under the tap and tops off the glass with some regular beer.
The bartender places the glass onto the bar. "Hey, snappet, here's your drink. Take it slow and make sure to drink all of it."
Meanwhile upstairs, a certain forsaken time maid is taking a nap in the middle of the day...
